Anthony Joseph

Anthony Joseph's Rowing Up River To Get Our Names Back is a sublime and powerful work of spoken word, poetry, and jazz. The Trinidadian-British artist delivers a masterclass in lyrical storytelling, backed by a stellar band that provides a lush, percussive, and atmospheric backdrop. It’s a record that is both deeply personal and politically charged, a stunning fusion of Caribbean folklore and avant-garde jazz. A truly unique and essential listen.
